RM: ud -- RoQA; orphaned, no upstream, uptimed is better

I think we should remove ud.

  * Orphaned for 6 months.
  * Upstream URL no longer works:

  * uptimed does the same thing better.
  * popcon: 261 installs, 177 votes.

Thanks,

Matej

2006-08-02 Thread Matej Vela 
Package: qa.debian.org

 hasn't been rebuilt since July 22
(possibly because of the move to SVN?).

Cheers,

Matej

I, for one, still use this, haven't had a problem with it for years,  
and would be sad to see it go. None of the bugs against it are show- 
stoppers, either.

Please do adopt it then.  I simply don't think it should ship with
etch without either an upstream or a Debian maintainer.

Thanks,

Matej

As discussed earlier on this list: if the package isn't particularly
buggy (this one has only 2 normal and 2 wishlist bugs), I see no
pressing reason to remove it.

Popcon also shows that hundreds of people appearently use it. I suggest
to withdraw the removal request.

there is, it's the QA Group. packages officialy orphaned are really less 
a pain that packages with a MIA maintainer.

I understand sometimes one has to sort out the very old packages from 
the QA group, and that's good, but here it looks like a used and not 
that buggy package, so I second the fact that it should not be removed.

No, because a wml file leads to errors.

That they have now write permission to QA maintained infrastructure,
such as qa.debian.org webpages, the PTS, DDPO, depcheck, mia stuff,
etc., as located in /org/*qa.debian.org on merkel.d.o and master.d.o.
This also includes access to the version management (currently still
CVS). There is nothing extra special about this group.

Please keep in mind that for everything else than QA-infrastructure,
every developer who wishes to do any kind of QA-related work is de-facto part
of the QA group, because every developer can do NMU's, QA uploads, and
work on improving the general quality of Debian by whatever new or known
way you can imagine.
